Frequently asked questions
1. Is there a specific day for arrival and departure?
No, you can arrive and depart on any day of the week. Your Panchakarma treatment can also begin on any day.
2. How long does the Panchakarma treatment take?
Panchakarma is a progressive therapy that works in stages, requiring time for the body to undergo detoxification and rejuvenation. We recommend a minimum of 14 days, but ideally, 21 days for optimal and long-lasting benefits.

The daily treatment duration varies based on the therapies prescribed by your Ayurvedic doctor. On average, treatments last between 90 and 120 minutes, though some days may require longer or shorter sessions.

Our packages are all-inclusive, covering treatments, medications, Ayurvedic meals (full-board), yoga, meditation, and accommodation.
